Default RE: what type of solder to use

You can't believe everything you read here.

I have been modeling for over 35 years, and have used 60/40 rosin core solder on large and small planes, and have never had a failure. The silver solder is kind of overkill for a 2-56 link.

You got that right.....

You need to do what works best for you. All i am providing is my experience over 29 years of doing a lot of soldering; electrical and mechanical including brazing/true silver soldering. They each have their own place.
